Yes, it started in March. Development is combined (committers, dev list, etc), but separate downloads and user lists will remain. > I know I am running version 1.4 but I keep seeing version numbers out there > that are 3.0, 4.0??? Can someone explain what that means. Lots of other stuff has changed. For example, trunk is now always the next *major* version number. So the trunk of the combined lucene/solr is 4.0-dev There is now a branch_3x that is like trunk for all future 3.x releases. The next version of Solr will probably be 3.1, and it's unlikely there will ever be a 1.5 released. > Also is the state of trunk (1.4 or 4.0??) "good enough" for production use? Yes, Lucene/Solr aims for a "stable" trunk (runtime stability, not API stability). Plenty of big companies use trunk since they need recent features. Just be sure to test well (good advice even if working off of officially released versions). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
